Blade Type Information: AUS-6 Stainless Steel

Aus 6 stainless steel is produced by Aichi Steel corporation located in Japan. This steel varies somewhat from the steel readily purchased in the continental United States. The manufactures have added the alloy vanadium to the raw material. Vanadium improves the overall performance of the steel in various ways. Even though stainless steel is already a corrosion resistant metal, the added vanadium raises this property higher. It makes the steel tougher overall, a useful trait for some of the niche applications it is used in. The vanadium is also instrumental in making the surface and edge of the metal a lot easier to sharpen.

Comparison wise, Aus 6 is extremely similar to 440 stainless steel. The Aus series is used mostly for making knives, blades, and cutlery. It is the perfect metal for such tools, and the relatively inexpensive material leaves manufactures the ability to make serviceable products and offer them to the average consumer at a decent price. The steel does hold an edge better than regular stainless steel because of the added alloy, and maintenance of the product is easy. A simple wipe with water and a cloth will keep the surface, and edge, clean and serviceable.

Although it is a great product to use, knife connoisseurs tend to stay away from this steel. They longer the blade of a particular knife, the more chance of stress fractures when applied to heavy work. Depending on the usage of the particular blade, and the design of the knife, Aus 6 may be brittle and nicked. As with any metal product, the consumer must take into account exactly what the usage of the product shall be. If you are looking for a good, inexpensive blade for minimal use, AUS 6 is the perfect choice for your needs.

Handle Material Information: Wood Handle

There are many different types of wood handles that are available for many different things. That being said, today we are going to concentrate only on three.

Tomahawks

Surely everyone is aware that not only were tomahawks used by Native Americans but they also had handles made from wood. Back then wood was just about the only material to make them with. Over time and with many experiments they finally decided which types of wood worked well and which didn’t. Popular theory is that hard woods work best although some did prefer the softer woods because they tended to be lighter and easier to throw.

Axes

Anyone today can go to a hardware store and find many tools with wooden handles. This includes axes. Why do you think that is? Does it make sense to use a wooden handled tool to chop down the very material that it was made from? Some might say no but the fact remains that many axe handles are made from some sort of hard wood…the actual wood may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Knives

Knives look really good when they have a well-polished wooden handle. While they are not resistant to scratches and nicks, they are very strong and a good fit for a knife. You can find them with designs etched or burned into them and sometimes you can even find then with the wood unpolished and raw looking. There are many styles of wood handles for knives as well as many types of knives that they go on.

If this information helped you at all and even if it didn’t you can always find more information about this at Tomahawk Database. Regardless of the name of the site you can find all kinds of useful information not only about tomahawks but also about axes and knives.

Stanley P. Rockwell inevnted the Rockwell Hardness Test in 1919 while working as a metallurgist in ball bearing plant. Rockwell wanted to measure the uniformity and hardness of inner and outer rings on which the ball bearings rolled. He designed a device that could measure hardness accurately and quickly.

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standardized a set of scales for testing Rockwell hardness values. Each scale has been designated a letter and corresponds to a different group of materials. Scale C is used for steel, titanium, deep case hardened steel, hard cast irons and other materials harder than scale B 100.

Knife blades and other steel hardened tools are made from metals that match to the Rockwell C scale. Most blade makers display the hardness number as "HRC xx" or "HRC xx - xx" providing a range, where "xx" indicates a Rockwell hardness number. Not many blades measure over HRC 70. Most functional blades rate somewhere between HRC 56 and HRC 63.

Generally, blades with a lower HRC number don't hold and edge for long under demanding use, but they are easier to sharpen. Blades with a higher HRC value stay sharp for longer, but are more difficult to sharpen. As an example, stainless steel has a HRC higher than carbon steel, but it is also more difficult to sharpen than carbon steel.
